Thank you for your encouragement. While it can be painful, PT has been crucial in meeting my goals for ROM and for strengthening my knee/leg to climb stairs. But PT exercises often result in knee pain (either while doing them or after you finish). That stinks, I know. I hate pain! Very depressing and yes, I have cried many a tear. The flip side is PT works. With courage and commitment to keep going, you can meet your goals. This week will mark 3 months since my TKR surgery. PT is now once a week and I do exercises at home in between therapy sessions. My knee strength has significantly improved and I am nearing my goals for recovery.
